What does research have to say about SA's water institutions?

Abstract

Water governance It has been 16 years since the promulgation of the National Water Act, which has the decentralisation of water resource management as a core focus. What do we know of these water institutions that are supposed to govern our water resources, and what do we still need to know? This was the focus of a completed research project by the Water Governance Group, a sub-unit of the CSIR Natural Resources and Environment. Article by Nikki Funke, Richard Meissner, Shanna Nienaber and Cebile Ntombela. stakeholders gradually became involved in water governance, including academics, consult ants, communities and scientists. The result was the beginning of a dynamic water governance environment characterised by a move away from centralised to increasingly decentralised water institutions.
